The Great
Chicago
Fire was a conflagration that burned from Sunday, October 8, to early Tuesday,
October 10, 1871, killing hundreds and destroying about four square miles in
Chicago
,
Illinois
.
Though the fire was one of the largest U.S. disasters of the 19th century, the rebuilding that began
almost immediately spurred Chicago's development into one of the most
populous and economically important American cities.

INSURANCE, GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE FLAMES, SCENES AND
INCIDENTS, LOSS OF LIFE, THE FLIGHT OF THE PEOPLE.
ALSO, A CONDENSED HISTORY OF

Upton
The work opens with the very beginning of the fire and follows it, street by street, along its terrible path of
devastation; describes the prominent buildings consumed; the thrilling, heroic and even humorous scenes
in the streets, during the fire, and gives careful estimates of the losses, somewhat in detail, and a statement
of insurance from official sources. The operations of the Relief Society are touched upon sufficiently to give
the reader a general idea of the manner, in which charity has been disbursed. The losses in churches, schools,
and institutions of music, art and amusement, as well as the public libraries, are also dwelt upon somewhat at length.
